Nat. Hist. II(4): Aanwyz. Plaat. [3], 326, tab. 21, fig. 2, 1775 [non D. pulchella L.].

= Diosma ovata Thunb., Prodr. Pl. Cap. 1: 43. 1794. ≡ Agathosma ovata (Thunb.) Pillans in J. S. African Bot. 16: 69. 1950.

Lectotypus (designated by STRID, 1972: 42): SOUTH AFRICA: Cape, Thunberg s.n. (UPS-THUNB n° 5700 image seen; isolecto-: G-PREL [G00818115]!).

Notes. – A specimen present in the Cape herbarium in G-PREL [G00818106]) is a good match for the plate. A Thunberg collection in the Burman herbarium represents an isolectotype of Diosma ovata (G-PREL [G00818115]).
